[QUOTE="radiorob, post: 4152159, member: 50064"] I started using 0-20 full synthetic motor oil on my firearms in place of Lucas Gun Oil. I haven't noticed any issues so far. The argument that got me to switch was that if I trust the motor oil for thousands or revolutions per minute in a machine that costs thousands of dollars why wouldn't it be good enough for my guns that only have to endure at most hundreds of cycles a day and cost just hundreds of dollars. The conditions found in a firearm seems much less demanding that the conditions found in the block of an engine. I know there is a lot of slick marketing behind really expensive gun oils. Also to my knowledge there is no third party agency that establishes minimum standards for gun oil as the API, ILSAC does for motor oil. I'm curious what you all think of this topic. [/QUOTE]
